I have a question.

[the1337]

How many young guns are produced of a star player? ie. Crosby, Hall, ovie, toews, stamkos, mackinnon and so on.

[87sluggo]

How many YGs of EACH player? One

Is that what you meant?

[87sluggo]

Plus now with the Canvas parallels. Plus the Exclusive & High Gloss parallels.

[87sluggo]

Plus they can also appear on the YG checklists.

[the1337]

I mean like how many made in total? ie. like how many hall or Crosby yg's were made? 2000? 3000?

UD has never announced print runs on Young Guns unfortunately.

Im thinking in the 8,000 + range .... for base Young Guns. No Canvas or retros, no exclusives or high gloss

I think I remember back in 05/06, the guys at the shop I went to determined that there were 1200 - 1500 Black Diamond quad rookies from that year. I think they were 8,000 - 10,000 on the YGs

Probably more than any of us would ever want to know. LOL

Something in the 8k-10k range is probably a good bet.

You can do some basic math to give yourself a chance of guessing.... but that's all it is. Guess work.

There is typically 1 Exclusive or HG per box. 250 cards in the set.... and with print runs of /100 and /10, I can say that there are 2500 HGs printed, and 25,000 exclusives printed. That's (roughly) 27,500 Hobby Boxes. Multiply that number by 6 (how many YGs per box) and you get 165,000. Divide that by 50, for how many are in the set, and you get 3300. I would round up to 3500 to be safe.

Of course, this is just rough math based on hobby boxes. It doesn't include the cards available in blasters or tins. I would imagine just as many were printed for retail packing as hobby, so that would double it to 7,000.

How accurate is that? I have no idea. I'll bet 7k is still a low ball, and there is more like 10k out there - but that's just a guess.

Thanks for the input everyone.
